- Wednesday, 8 July 2009Michael Jackson's friend and personal trainer Lou Ferrigno has said that it was the stress of dealing with debt that killed the superstar rather than physical exhaustion or drug misuse.
If true, it is quite possible that the King of Pop's tragic death could have been avoided if he had entered into an
individual voluntary agreement.
Despite owning assets worth hundreds of millions of pounds, the singer was in huge debt and according to Mr Ferrigno, was struggling to deal with the stresses of debt management prior to his death.
"He was under tremendous stress, so much I think it killed him. The debts put a huge strain on him. He was $400 million in debt," Mr Ferrigno said, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The former Hulk and Mr Universe dismissed suggestions that Jackson was too frail to put his body through the O2 tour rehearsals.
He said: "When I saw him he looked fantastic. I have never seen him look better … when I put him through the routine and everything, it was just fine, very energetic."
Managing debt can be incredibly stressful and for those facing bankruptcy, entering into an
individual voluntary agreement can be a more straightforward, less stressful way of dealing with financial difficulties.
